Here’s a little something I noticed today, your physical appearance changes based upon where you live. What am I talking about I hear you ask. Well, a forgotten football player who goes by the name of Jonathan Woodgate (remember him Geordie boys?) has finally made a couple of appearances for the mighty Real Madrid, in the heart of sun-drenched spain. So, having moved from the somewhat dark, moody, wet and windy Newcastle (in the north-east of England for all you Americans) to the hot, sticky and some might say, more cultured capital of Spain that is Madrid, Woodgate has taken on a surreal european look. Don’t believe me, check the images below, he’s gone from being the snarling, moody, pasty English defender to a man who looks truly European…

Hmm, now that I’ve lived in the US for 4 years, does that mean I’ve turned into a large, Big-Mac eating wise-ass? Hell no, I was always a wise-ass, and living in Colorado means you can’t have to much of a wide-load, as the lack of oxygen makes it harder to move around…

Woodgate - The Brit…. and Woodgate - The Sophisticated European
